7. Excellent question

And you didn't see Obama flying down there in case he won. She planned this all along.

8. Obama won Nevada. It's a delegate race, remember? That's what the Hillary campaign keeps saying.

22. Nope, he jumped the gun on that. Check the facts.

The delegates in Nevada haven't been decided yet, and they won't be deciding until April 19.

4. Yes. And the media would be talking endlessly about her humiliating defeat and Obama's

great victory. To pretend otherwise is silly IMO. The coverage would be so different tonight if Obama had won.

5. On the other hand, would Barack be giving a victory speech?

I think so, but we'll never know.

He was in Kansas earlier today with Kathleen Sebelius (getting endorsed).

10. Florida is a first look at what is going to be repeated on Super Tuesday

Hillary is very strong going into Super Tuesday and it looks like she's going to win, Florida will give her a boost and momentum even if it does not mean delegates the fact that she's on TV celebrating a primary victory only makes her stronger and she is probably unbeatable now unless Obama can reach out to white and latino voters

11. No. But even more importantly, she wouldn't be calling for the delegates to be seated. n/t

15. Don't be a sore loser milkyway. She gave a concession

speech the other night after Obama won South Carolina.

18. Wrong on both counts. First, I don't at all feel like a sore loser tonight--Obama has been

down over 20 points in Florida. It was a foregone conclusion who would get the most votes in Florida. And the reported strong late move to Obama in Florida is very encouraging.

Second, Hillary did not give a concession speech after Obama won South Carolina. She fled the state without saying anything. Her running mate had also fled the state without saying anything, and it was he who was first to face the public. His "concession speech" was a concession sentence tacked on to his stump speech in Missouri. Hillary then did the same thing from Tennessee a couple of hours later. Classy.

19. Why would she stick around in a state she just got trounced

in to give a speech, instead of moving on to campaign?

Her town hall meeting in Tennessee was far more important than sticking around in a state that voted against her.

She congratulated Obama.

Seriously, why doesn't that make sense to you to move on quickly since time is of the essence.

And what did you want her to say beyond "congratulations?"

24. So Obama wins state #3 out of 50 and she's supposed to

deliver some long speech praising him?

That's ridiculous.

You should saver the win, rather than complain about minutia.

And I'm sure Obama would tell you the same thing. He doesn't care a fraction as much as you seemingly do.

Right milkyway?

23. Why did Obama not go to a State where he campaigned in?

What does that say about what he thinks about his supporters?
